I do not propose to enter upon the system of landholding in
Scotland or Ireland, which appears to me to bear the stamp of the
Celtic origin of the people, and which was preserved in Ireland
long after it had disappeared in other European countries formerly
inhabited by the Celts. That ancient race may be regarded as the
original settlers of a large portion of the European continent, and
its land system possesses a remarkable affinity to that of the
Slavonic, the Hindoo, and even the New Zealand races. It was
originally Patriarchal, and then Tribal, and was communistic in its
character.

I do not pretend to great originality in my views. My efforts have
been to collect the scattered rays of light, and to bring them to
bear upon one interesting topic. The present is the child of the
past. The ideas of bygone races affect the practices of living
people. We form but parts of a whole; we are influenced by those
who preceded us, and we shall influence those who come after us.
